So I see @F_Societys decided to ignore my friendly suggestion and he keeps doing the same thing, just a little bit adapted. I really don't understand how hard can it be  to share reference link and avoid all this, but I guess he wants to appear knowing more than he actually does so he willingly  chooses not to mention source.

Well, at least he can't say he wasn't warned about his behaviour. Many newbies didn't have that privilege, they were instantly reported and soon after banned.

Hello, I swear you will forgive me.
From now on, I will mention it even if I copy a word from a site.
Please take the negative rating from me. I am ready to improve this site.
I hope you forgive me and I try to publish the best articles. Embarrassed Embarrassed

I think investing in someone else's pocket is a mistake.
I have the stress of losing my property even when I invest with my own money.
How do they give up their money ?? Huh

I've heard a lot of things about hiring a killer in deep web thing where you could pay bitcoin to some illegal things or something like hiring a killer. Well, killing your ex-husband? seriously? Maybe he falls into a trap or someone offers this to him and the woman just takes the offer because she wants to kill her ex-husband. I'm sure that the authorities could tract a lot of these transactions because of a lot of their trusted sources. But 5000$ was a big amount of bitcoin  Grin just invest it instead of using it in killing.

Someone who has spent so much money really could have made a good investment with all of it. Or he could have done other important things.
This is where it is said that money does not make sense. Cool Wink

A woman has been arrested in the United States for hiring a killer with bitcoin  Shocked Shocked Shocked

A Nevada woman has appeared in federal court on charges of paying $ 5,000 in bitcoin to a killer to kill her ex-husband.

According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife.

I have read this thread a couple of times and I am sorry for being to practical on correctness of the words used for it is supposedly a news article so every single word matters because a misused word can lead up to confusion considering this is a news article. I know it was stated in the subject that a woman is arrested due to criminality of hiring a killer using Bitcoin but that just not ends in there. I am reading the entire article not just the title all alone and what I can say that to avoid plagiarism this thread of yours have undergone paraphrasing which leads to interchanging words resulting to errors.

I'm not saying you copy-pasted this post, but since it sounds quite as if you did, you should add the source to your article, if not you will be banned for plagiarism.

I have added the source. Sorry you did not read it:

According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife. The case is said to be related to another case involving the recruitment of a killer. It is worth noting that this killer was not hired in the end.

Also, I did not copy the text and turned it into an article.
And this statement of yours upset me. Sad



Also, it is not enough just citing on where it came from for you still must have provided the news article so that we can see the overall article itself that includes the whole story about this case. Citing where it came from must always include URL that is linked to the article to support this thread. Overall, this is really an awful scenario on how people is becoming pathetic to hire killers and using Bitcoin as a tool to make transactions to come up on doing this.

Okay. You accept my apology.
After all, you are an experienced member and I am a new member and I need your experience.
I hope you are lucky dear friend.

So what? would you label bitcoin as a bad tool?

I think this information will not give much to bitcoin and an overview from other to bitcoin. Using bitcoin is like you use money in you whole day now, you can't judge and give a bad assesment into bitcoin and tell them to another people now, they have known bitcoin well.

It is true.
We see thousands of types of cash violations every day, however, why does it not spoil its face ??
Perhaps the only thing to consider is that cash has been around for hundreds of years, but bitcoin has only just entered the economy for a few years.
Let me give you an example:
A child who has just entered a school gets into fights with everyone and steals and ...
The manager also warns the child or fires him.
But another child who has been in school for several years and knows how to steal and break without the principal complaining to him.

This was a conceptual example.

Nowadays people are losing their human nature, it can very easily decide to kill someone. For me kill flies already feel guilty,
moreover reading articles like the opening post, gives me the creeps to read articles like this. Actually this happened because
the person couldn't control his emotions, because anger can make us unable to think logically. But related to hiring a killer with
Bitcoin is not new in my opinion, there have been several similar instances too.

Maybe these illustrations and games or even movies have subconsciously affected people.
We also saw in previous years that bitcoin was used for drugs, smuggling, and so on.
I hope the people of the world will prosper.
Hoping that day.

This is a disappointing case. So many good things that can be done with Bitcoin and make them stand out anywhere in the world and people create hell by doing illicit acts like this. Fortunately, the case was not carried out, As the article says, people have a wrong concept about the anonymity of Bitcoin.
Yes. This can do a lot of damage to the character and face of Bitcoin.
I just hope that these things will be lessened one day so that the people of the world will become more familiar with the true face of Bitcoin.

A woman has been arrested in the United States for hiring a killer with bitcoin  Shocked Shocked Shocked

A Nevada woman has appeared in federal court on charges of paying $ 5,000 in bitcoin to a killer to kill her ex-husband.

According to coindesk Thirty-six-year-old Kristy Lynn Felkins has been summoned to court on charges of paying 12 bitcoins ($ 5,000 at the time) for trying to hire a killer to kill his ex-wife. The case is said to be related to another case involving the recruitment of a killer. It is worth noting that this killer was not hired in the end.

U.S. law enforcement officials say Homeland Security agents managed to crack down on bitcoins paid to hire a killer. These bitcoins are linked to the Falkins account on the local bitcoin website. Falkins is said to have spoken to the scammer before paying him.

The rumors circulating about this criminal case show that the scammer, over a period of one month, tried hard to persuade Falkins to use a more expensive method of murder. While the murder ultimately does not take place, the scammer cuts off contact with the Falkins without leaving a trace.

Federal agents say an unnamed hacker hacked the killer recruitment site, providing information such as conversations, bitcoin addresses and other data to security officials in January 2019.

The data provided by the hacker to the judiciary has similar implications to another case that federal agents are investigating. This case is also related to a killer recruitment website in Dark Web.



Judicial officials say their source provided a wealth of information about several open cases, but did not name herself or these sites.

Federal officials say the information provided by the hacker is "reliable." The archived documents of the case refer to the hacker as a foreign national convicted of possessing child pornography.

Documents in the Falkins case show that he cooperated with the US government without any financial request or even request for release from prison.

The US Department of Homeland Security has not yet officially commented on the matter.

Many people think that bitcoin transactions are untraceable and that they can be used to finance crimes "completely" anonymously. But the reality is that the bitcoin blockchain sometimes reaches out to security systems to handle cases more efficiently.

In my opinion, a world war is literally the worst thing that can happen to humanity, with or without bitcoin.

Wars happen because countries can't pay up their debts, so they "pay up" this way. (Again, in my opinion, no misunderstandings)
In a war, the fiat loses its value. I had a discussion with a friend about what could happen to bitcoin in a war. He said that it will surely collapse. I am not so sure about it.

Although, think about it for a while. In a world war, the last thing someone has is access to the internet. Would bitcoins lose their value?

History has shown that gold is the money that "reborns" fiat. At least after a war. I would like to read some thoughts.

I also agree with you. In Iran, if something important happens, they will cut off the internet of the whole country. I myself witnessed that after the assassination of one of the good commanders of this country, they cut off the internet of the whole country.

And I remember that my friends in Iran did not know about the Bitcoin chart for weeks, and they were the ones who lost their capital.
However, in my opinion, gold is better in war than bitcoin.

There are many sites on Bitcoin news on the internet and everyone follows them. Does receiving news from these news sites cause copyright.  Huh

You should not copy the news, you should publish the news in the form of an article, not copy the text of the news and publish it here.
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest Bitcoin giveaway scams and how can you avoid them on: September 02, 2020, 12:22:51 PM
This topic is interesting, in our local Spanish forum we have touched on this topic a lot, what many people should know is that to give away money or Bitcoin is almost impossible, many people do not understand it, only on rare occasions that actually it They do, most people still do not identify very well this type of scams, the easiest way to realize it is when they offer to earn a lot for doing nothing or little.

It is true that, as you said, many people do not know much about this area, and this ignorance opens the way for fraud and theft.
We need to think about this.
I have also talked about teaching this information to children in this article. You can see:

Recent Bitcoin giveaway scams

Bitcoin giveaway scams have been all over Youtube in the form of ad videos. In the videos, big tech names such as SpaceX’s Elon Musk,
Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson, and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin are shown giving away free Bitcoin worth 5,000 BTC up to 10,000 BTC.

These fraudulent videos appear as ads that play before, during, or after any Youtube video, reaching millions of users around the globe.
These scammers have already amassed millions of dollars, and they still haven’t stopped fooling people into sending cryptocurrencies to their addresses.

While giveaway scams are not new to the Bitcoin community, this kind of targeted modus using social media has been going on as early as
February 2020. From Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos and now Vitalik Buterin, these scam videos change their “main face” every few months to attract
unsuspecting victims.

Twitter hacks on popular accounts


As we know, scams and hacks due to Bitcoin have increased a lot in recent years.
And these scams are due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of most people in the world to install bitcoins.
In my opinion, these behaviors should be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise the face of bitcoin in the world will change.

For example, I say: A 40-year-old person who does not know bitcoin and hears the news of hacking, theft, fraud, etc. every day, gets discouraged about installing bitcoin and says (why not buy my money in gold or etc ?).
The mentality of the society must change.

After identify of the Satoshi market can be highly effected and maybe that's the other reason of why the identify is still unknown. There are already many possibilities and theories about Satoshi, even some people named themselves Satoshi, one of them is craig wright. if you google "Fake Satoshi" you will see his name first in the list. According to another theory, Satoshi is not just one person and there are some people they made a team and call is Satoshi. However, I personally hope none ever understands his/her real identity.

Yes, all of this is just a hypothesis, and Satoshi true identity is revealed when a person or persons with real and convincing evidence prove themselves.
In any case, I think Satoshi identity will remain unknown forever, or he may have died and failed to identify himself to the public before his death. Huh
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New information from Satoshi? on: August 29, 2020, 06:09:32 AM
There have already been a lot of different information and different versions about the personality of Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto took the necessary steps to hide his identity. He either counted on never to be revealed, or must prepare evidence in case his identity is revealed.
Therefore, if the real Satoshi himself does not want to appear, all actions to establish him will be ineffective. Any versions, guesses and assumptions will not lead to anything.

I did not say anything definite about this, and as you and I both know, these are the only hypotheses that want to challenge Satoshi.
Good luck Smiley
76  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / New information from Satoshi? on: August 28, 2020, 07:25:42 AM
In 2014, Leah McGrath Goodman published a report in Newsweek claiming that Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64-year-old Japanese-American man from Southern California, was the creator of Bit[Suspicious link removed]dman claims that Doreen Nakamoto "implicitly" identified himself as Satoshi Nakamoto in an interview with Goodman; However, Doreen Nakamoto later vehemently denied any involvement in the creation of bitcoin.

McGrath Goodman is a distinguished reporter who has won awards in his career and has published articles in prestigious publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and the Guardian. In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, he explained that he now has new information about Nakamoto's identity and intends to write more about it. Goodman stated:

As my report was being published, the Department of Homeland Security launched an investigation.
I received many emails; But I received a special email from a group who wanted to divulge real information, and I hope to write more about it and provide more information about my initial report.

There are many more secrets, and they are not all just about Durin, and I think we all knew that.

Just focusing on Dorin was not very satisfying; There are definitely more tips and I really hope to be able to publish them as well.
Also, I want to respect the privacy and feelings of the people who spoke to me.


Goodman quoted Nakamoto as saying:

I no longer participate in this work and I can not talk about it.
This project has been entrusted to other people and they are now in charge of it. I have nothing to do with them anymore
.

Police officers at the scene later confirmed that Goodman's quote from Nakamoto was correct.

In an interview with Pompliano, McGrath Goodman said that the issue of his relationship and interaction with Nakamoto before the face-to-face meeting was quite clear. He explained:

We've been exchanging emails for weeks. I even sent him an email with Bitcard given to me by Gavin Andresen. He also received all these emails before the interview, knowing that we were going to talk about bitcoin.

I was disappointed that he later claimed that he did not know what the subject of the conversation was. He certainly knew we wanted to talk about bitcoin. We've been talking about this for weeks on the Internet before I actually went to his house.

Thanks for reading this article. Good luck
